R.I.P Park Yong Ha

What????? Why??? NO!!!!!!
I can't stop crying!!!!!!
This is just terrible!!! I am speechless!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why HIM??????
I can't beleieve this!!!

WTF? just a few days a ago, we were reading his upcoming projects and now?
I really can't believe that and I'm in shock!
dunno what to say....

This is beyone shocking as I just re-watched part of Winter Sonata last weekend. RIP Park Yong Ha.

i can't believe.i just can't believe.i can't help crying.why?i love his drama the story of a man so much.i 'm so shocked.i am so sad.why...

I share the sentiments of everyone. I am literally speechless because of this news. :( I am so looking forward to his drama with YEH as well but it will never come true. May he rest in peace.

Oh my gosh... I saw the title on my phone and thought "must be another drama he's in", or it's a "character" he's playing... This is too shocking, too sad.

Is there a lot of pressure in the k-ent business? PYH case reminds me of Jang Ja Yeon. It was huge at the time because of her dying notes pointing out the abuse treatment she got and the "VIP men" that were involved. But then, that was all we knew and it seemed like it all got quiet again, quite fast. Nothing really changed since then didn't it?

Sorry, I didn't mean to link the 2 cases. But suicide... it's so sad. Rest in peace, Park Yong Ha.

DOUX JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ? WHAT ? WHAT ? GOD AM I DREAMING ?......

I'm totally devastated by this news, though I do understand where such feelings of inner pain, turmoil and torment stems from. My thoughts and prayers are with PYH, his family, extended familiy, friends and acquaintances who must be in an undescribeable amount of suffering right now and I hope that such more awareness can be raised in relation to such mental issues and become one that is more widely addressed and on the national agenda, but maybe that's wistful thinking for now I'm not sure :\ . But I'm just speechless and blown away that it would happen to one of my favourite actors, of whom I really admire and respect for his acting, singing and all-round artistry and talents.
With this, he will be sorely missed and my sincere condolences to his family and friends. We will all continue to hold you in our prayers and I hope you find peace and rest wherever you are. May you rest in peace Park Yong Ha and God Bless.

This is a real terrible news, I really love him since Winter Sonata..then
Story of a man , On air... and real look forward to Love Story bcos of him.
My heart go out to his family, but he must be really suffering to come out to this decision.. and really is not for us to judge what a human suffering is.

RIP, Park Yong Ha ..Thanks for your life and your good work .

Sad sad sad sad...sad, I stil cant believe it!

so surprised and sad!
its a little strange that he would make future plans with people like that. from what i understand of these things, usually people planning suicide tend to give things away and distance themselves.
his poor family.
so sad.

OMG!!! I can't stop myself from crying. It's such a tragedy. My heart breaks at the thought that he must have been in such overwhelming emotional pain that the only out for him was to end his life. I pray he finally found the peace he was looking for.

it is a savage world out there everybody is pushing you to your grave this is the truth war hunger greed crime and lack of religion and love this is the world we live in

To @Ellie and all the posters who gave us an insight on depression, thank you. R.I.P Park Yong Ha

So sad..... R. I. P. Park Yong-ha :(.

loooool
what happend with him ??

Likewise with khaytee's post,
@Ellie and all the other posters who took time to share their own personal experiences and gives many us a more indepth, informative and insightuful outlook on depression as well. Thank you so much, for your time and for the posts, I'm sure many of us really appreciated it.
and Park Yong Ha, please RIP you will be terribly missed. Our sympathies are with your loved ones as well and we will continue to hold you in our prayers and thoughts.

@ rainey @ 380

Thanks for your kind comment on my post. I nearly gave up reading this thread because I find some comments ignorant (and a few frankly racist), but I'm glad I came back, since I caught your post.

I dunno. Is it really suicide? Hanging self using cellphone cord? Is it really possible? Just wondering... Any physics expert here care to explain? I'm sorry if my question is out of context. it's just some questions niggles me at the back of my head after the sadness calms. No suicide note. Arranged to meet friends. Call friends happily... Again... BIG SORRY if my question is not in good taste.

RIP..

I cannot bring myself to believe the news. I was so excited and awaiting for his comeback. I AM BEYOND DEVASTATED!
Yong Ha Oppa, you will be missed. Rest In Peace. :(""""""""

sorry... the police announced it's the cord of camcorder charger. then it might be possible...

i am devastated by this news. he was one of my first Korean crushes... BYJ being the first, both in my heart since Winter Love Song. i can't believe that he's not here.. by his own doing. it's horrible!!! i'm so shocked. but i hope he can finally rest in peace... as he wasn't able while alive.

my condolences to his family.. his mother and father--no parents should have to bury a child. especially when they are already suffering from cancer.

my heart aches. so bad.

I'm also devastated by this news... Angry, speechless and Shocked!!!
How come someone so (easily) took ones own life. That's what I don't like about (Korean) celebs. There are so many now.
Please just stop, don't make suicide like some kind of solutions.
There are so many who is less fortunate than you...
Please be strong, be patient and believe that God will not push you to the edge, He will guide you and save you.
RIP, Park Yong Ha... You'll be missed.
May God bless you and family.

This is just awful news!!!! :(

Seems that a lot of Korean entertainers were and may be are suffering from depression. I do hope after all these incidences of suicide, they would try to see for professional help.

Depression is a kind of modern world sickness...there is nothing wrong about seeking help and I hope ppl do undertstand this.

Sad ...

RIP Park Yong Ha. I hope you've finally found peace :(

My deepest condolences to his family, especially to his poor father who not only is battling cancer but now has to deal with the pain of losing a son and also to his mother, who was the first person to find his body. Extremely tragic situation.

frankly i was really really shocked... he's talented. As for ppl suffering from depression, they can sound normal and normally ppl can't detect anything wrong.
I had a close one who had depression [which i wasn't aware of till his death] and he committed suicide, which left me shocked to the very core years back...

I just couldn't believe it when I read the news. I read all the news title words from JB but I felt such a disconnect. I just couldn't believe it. I was looking forward to his new drama with YEH.
RIP, PYH!

Damn! Is there anyone who do not suffers from depression when he/she died? I know this is a seroius ailment but they have all the money and affaction from us to seek help. I know two people with depression in real life and one is a very serious cause but even he sees a doc and is on medication instead of killing himself.

I'm very dissapointed in PYH if he really killed himself. I cannot be the "understanding" fan anymore. Taking his own life was so senseless and I won't mourn him but his parents. He left them especially his mother who will suffer the loss of her husband too soon. Baka!

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?! I'M IN UTTER SHOCK! >.< WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO KOREAN CELEBRITIES, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!! WHY?!?!?!?!!! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO DESERVE THIS?!?! T_T

has anyone wonder why this happening often with KArtist? is it really suicide?
depression is serious, parent illness is a serious matter too. but with good career,
new promising drama coming up, and the most intriguing is the cell phone cord (???) .... don't know... just hard to believe

RIP Park Yong Ha

(just few days ago reminiscing my first Kdrama experience while writing for JB challenge, and it was Winter Sonata)

Did he think about his mother ? Did he think about his mother ? I mean I am not sad because I think "what a waste !". Indeed I feel so much ANGER !

OMG! so shocking! last week i was really happy he was coming back with new projects, and then this???? is so sad! my prayers are with his family and close friends. such a talented young man, this is a huge loss.
depression is the worst disease right now, especially in Korea; it moved me a lot when this article said he asked his father for forgiveness and that he sounded/looked his best his last day on earth.
RIP dear Yong-ha...

i don't understand... oh god. he was such a good actor and I appreciated him so much for his talent....

i've read this article this morning.... i was soooo dumbfounded ( i still am) and was unable to write a comment right away. have to digest the news and it took time to sink in.

'saw park yong-ha for the first time in winter sonata and i started to like him on the spot and can't seem to get enough of him so i looked for more.... it was in loving you that i fell truly, madly, head over heels in love with him. ever since then i've been rooting for him. i've dreamt of him more than a million times. just by looking at him makes me happy. needless to say, park yong-ha is a HUGE part of my KD obsession, i will really really miss him.

PARK YONG-HA, RIP. Where ever you are now, be happy. Saranghae Yong-ha ssi.... You will always be in my heart. Annyeong.

my deepest condolences to your family.

......WHAT?! That can't be............That can't be............

........Is that TRUE about what happens to Park Yong Ha? No, no............How can I see this picture (above) of Park Yong Ha who seems so fine but he's already gone.........??
No, no........... (sad looks) I am not happy to hear about this dreadful new about Park Yong HA that it really really made me so sad and disappointed -- because I really LOVE him since I love his BEST drama "Story Of A Man" and "On Air", of course..........
I was happy and excited to looking forward for Yoon Eun Hye and Park Yong Ha in the incoming drama 'Love Song" --- BUT it's already late, oh man. I wish that you should NOT missed all of thing what you will have seen your importance future this happens.......but it isn't.

Rest in peace, Park Yong Ha ---- I am really sorry to hear about his family that made you so, like, through hard time BUT you should have try to get positive, you know........Anyway, I'd better stop typing this comment about him, my apologize. Repeat, REST IN PEACE. =(

Sorry if this may offend many of you. Honestly, I dunno why people say rest in peace for him?. For me RIP is only for those who died naturally. When his soul is still wanders how could he be in peace?.

My apology I have no sympathy for anyone who play god to himself. Very bad example for the young people out there.

It is so ironic that he is so afraid to live than to die. Couldn't he see when life gives him 100 reasons to cry, he can show life that he has 1000 reasons to to smile.

Yeah... blame it to the depression but isn't it the rainbow of life that make us a stronger and better person?. Depression is no excuse, everyone in this world may have their own depression at different level. How you cope and resilient is what counts and make you a man.

Sorry again but PYH just smashed all the appreciation I have had for his talent.. And I would rather have my tears for something more worthy than to a coward like him.

WWHHHAAAATTTTTTTT????!!!!

That can't be............Is Park Yong Ha already dead? I am really really SPEECHLESS about this shocking news --- um.......I don't know how to report the comment what I thought of him..........I am just speechless about my admiring actor Park Yong Ha.....

.......Rest in Peace, Yong Ha.

Soleram: It is no point to argue about what will happen to his soul, it is his kar. Life is a suffering and his soul will eventually discover the path of removing of suffering.

I will be chanting for him and hope he will find wisdom in four noble truths and be guided by the noble eight-fold path in his next reincarnation. (1) Right view (2) Right intention (3) Right speech (4) Right action (5) Right livelihood (6) Right effort (7) Right mindfulness (8) Right concentration.

I guess sometime it is more important to be kind, rather than being right. That's why RIP is used.

BTW, I can see your point, personally I think what you said is factual, true, beneficial, but unendearing and disagreeable to others. However, it may not be the proper time to say it since PYH has gone. It will be more helpful to tell him before he committed suicide!! But, now it is too late!! So, I think being kind is more important and please chant or pray for him!!

I don't often hv time to come here but i've been a huge fan of JB and last night before logging off watching one of Kdramas, i thot of coming here & much to my shock this news was on first page of dramabeans & i was really shocked! i'm still in disbelief...it can't be...i was having goosebumps as i read it! my heart goes out to him & his family! he's such a promising actor/singer with a beautiful voice and he ended his life...i really hope that people or celebrities like him won't think of doing this anymore! A few mos. ago there was Choi Jin young who was also one of my favorites aside from his sister....I hope people like them would seek professional help cause depression is curable! I read this morning in one of the Kor. online newspapers that celebrities don't tend to seek help cause of being ashamed that their popularity might be affected, but i think these celebs are wrong, we as fans would understand that just get some help & not end your life in such a waste!
May he rest in peace & deepest condolences to his loved ones & friends! We will miss you Park young ha ssi!

I watched his previous dramas and I was looking forward to Love Story/Love Song with him and Yoon Eun Hye in it. :(

R.I.P. Park Yong Ha

Oh my god. RIP. This is absolutely horrible news.

I have never seen a drama with him.I've just read the news posted here.I hope he rests in peace.It's sad that he now gets to "sleep" forever.I do not want to judge him or think why did he do such thing, but I want to say that it seems to me that more and more korean celebrities choose this way of death: suicide.Is it just me who thinks so>?And why do they...

For all those (morons) who said u got anger by not computing, throwing names at him, spitting your iinsensitive words around (solaram in particular, I'm talking to you). First, F*CK OFF! IF you dont know a thing about clinical depression, dont say irresponsible junk.

Have u ever consider it's your own intolerance, ignorance and close-mindedness towards a disorder/condition like depression that is causing you such good grieves!?!!?
then, go and try volunteering at a hospital's psychiatric ward and spend however little of your time just being around patients suffering fr this disease (please dont open your gob on them, thank you very much, last they need is suffering more). It's all consuming, where you may get some 'satisfaction' in expressing your narrow views and stink up the world on this matter, they do not get even such 'rewards'. can u imagine when u r hospitalized for months and your loving husband of X years bringing u a rose everyday, and you still can not consciously, as hard as you tried, feel warmth and joy and wished the visit and the day, any day will end sooner?! I witnessed that daily, as a bystander, and felt a hollowing hopelessness even in her room. She's hospitalized, medicated, with a loving family that visited her daily, religion was in her life, yet everyday is filled w/ excruciating psychological pain. I felt despair and hopelessness engulfing her yet as a person that should provide her professional help, there's just so much a human being can do when facing a complicated illness. There are battles you fight and win, then there are those you are at the losing end. Can I fault her at all for the despair and hopelessness just being around her?!! AM I NUTS?! R U? i'm starting to doubt how normal your brains r functioning.

Oh my god, i cannot believe it. I'm so sad, this is horrible. Why, why is there so much people who commit suicide ?! I do understand that depression is one of the worst disease and not everybody is able to understand it but it's hard to think that he's dead because of suicide and depression. I'm gonna miss him, he was so talented, and cute. I only saw one of his drama (Story of a man) but i really liked it. RIP..

(for all your comments, i don't think that here's the right place to argue about suicide being easy or not.)
